Bai Ze sank into the Qinghe River and didn't get up for a long time. Over there, Mu Chen, seeing Bai Ze being kicked into Qinghe again, knew in his heart that Bai Ze was not the swordsman's opponent, and was worried about Mu Qingling's safety, but the masked assassin in front of him was amazing, and he couldn't get out for a while.

The black-clothed swordsman stood on the bow of the painting boat and stabbed at Mu Qingling with a sword.

The bright red flying sword was spit out by Mu Qingling's mouth, and the moment the red light flashed, Yu Youwei pointed and knocked on the low table for the third time.

The flying sword was instantaneous, but the black-clothed swordsman was faster than the flying sword, and the ancient sword was shocked, and the red flying sword flew away.

The ancient sword stabbed the throat again.

"Light!" Mu Chen roared angrily, angry and frightened.

The surface of the Qinghe River moved, not simply moving, but magnificent, the river with a radius of ten zhang stirred, and the burning lanterns on the river surface gathered together with the turbulent river water.

The black-clothed swordsman sensed that Mo Yu's killing machine was enveloping him, and the source of the killing machine was the girl in the skirt who was kneeling at the low table of the painting boat.

He didn't have time to put away his sword, Yu Youwei reached out and flicked the white jade wine glass on the table, shocking the sword.

The black-clothed swordsman didn't hesitate, turned around and was about to leave. But he couldn't leave. Yu Youwei chuckled, and an angry dragon rolled up on the surface of the Qinghe River, and the burning lantern was adsorbed on the surface of the angry dragon, looking like a fire tornado rushing out of the water from a distance.

On the arched bridge, the swordsman in the cloth still couldn't help but move after all. He watched Yu Youwei move his hand, and the lantern water dragon broke through the water with unparalleled sword intent, and slammed the black-clothed swordsman on the bow of the boat into the sky, and then the angry dragon dived, and with a bang, pressed the swordsman into the Qing River.

The Qing River is shaking, but the painted boat is flat and stable in the waves. Mu Qingling's face was pale, and she looked at the girl kneeling at the low table in shock, opening her mouth, but she couldn't say a word.

"Bang!"

Bai Ze rushed out of the water and carried the Yellow Mountain, but the two women in the painting boat were safe and sound, but the black-clothed swordsman was nowhere to be seen.

On the other side, the masked assassin saw that his companion had missed, and a sword shook Mu Chen away, and he retreated. Mu Chen didn't dare to chase it, stepped on the water of the Qinghe River, returned to the painting boat, and saw that Mu Qingling was safe and sound, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and hugged his fist at Yu Youwei: "Mu Chen thank the young owner for helping, I didn't expect the girl's identity to be extraordinary, and her cultivation is also so outstanding." ”

"It doesn't matter. Yu Youwei got up and said, "Today's interest is disturbed, and I don't have the heart to see the beautiful scenery of the river again." Say goodbye to that and we'll see you another day. ”

After that, he stood on tiptoe, stepped on the rippling waters of the clear river, and flew ashore, leaving only an oil-paper umbrella on top of the painting boat.

The swordsman in the arch bridge saw the girl coming ashore and hurriedly followed.

"Another day, Muchen will come to the door to thank you!" the prince shouted to Yu You's slightly distant back.

Bai Ze got on the painting boat and looked strange. Mu Qingling stared nervously at the soaking young man and asked, "Bai Ze, are you okay?"

"It's fine. Bai Ze shook his head.

Forget about being beaten all the way, when he arrived in Heyang City, he was beaten again for no reason, Bai Ze's mood can be imagined.

"Brother Bai Ze, I'll take you to the hospital. Mu Chen instructed the boatman to dock, his expression was gloomy, and he handed Cuiyan to the county lord, and said: "The crossbow arrow in the fishing boat, recognized by this son, is the Weicheng long-armed crossbow." Damn, the Southern Regions family is shameless, what is the family in Weicheng, this son is not leading the troops to step on Weicheng in person to relieve his anger!"

......

On this night, Chen Deng, the deputy general of Heyang City, personally led people to search the city, and on the grounds that "the prince was assassinated, and the city lord's mansion wanted to arrest the assassins", he pulled out three strongholds of the He family in Weicheng in the city, killing hundreds of people.

On this night, when the swordsman who was rushed into the bottom of the Qinghe River by Yu Youwei with a fire tornado found out the Hongchen Inn outside the city and explained the situation to He Zongzheng, He Zongzheng received a flying letter from the city, and the letter bluntly said: "Mr. He, before the official start, my identity in Heyang City should not be exposed, and I hope to act cautiously and not to assassinate again in the near future."

He Zongzheng put the letter on a candle and burned it to ashes, stood quietly in the room alone for a night, and then said to the scholar, "Do as she says." ”

The Dushan Du family failed to besiege Mu Qingling, allowing the county lord to return to Heyang City safely, and they didn't get a crazy Mu Suifeng. But the prince followed closely after Ma Tadu Mansion, killed Du Mansion Manmen, and had already twisted the Southern Regions family into grasshoppers on a rope.

It can be said that the two sides have equal gains and losses, and no one has taken advantage. Chengguo Gong and the sixth princess have now entered the city, and Mu Suifeng put on a first-class marquis's python pattern official uniform to pick them up in person, and has welcomed the two into the city lord's mansion.

The arrival of Zhao Dun is another variable. He Zongzheng calculated overnight, and now that Heyang City is plus Zhao Dun, no matter how much their family joins forces, they are not the opponents of those two men.

For today's plan, I can only wait for Handan's side to act. But He Zongzheng couldn't understand that the Zong family cooperated with the Chamber of Commerce, and the Chamber of Commerce had to come up with at least one army. Although the Chamber of Commerce has a lot of money in Heyang City, if it really wants it to take out an army, how can the young owner who looks like a twenty-eight girl take it?

The mercenaries in the west of the city, just a group of rabble, what kind of climate can it be? This Confucian strategist from the Jixia School Palace frowned.

......

Early the next morning, Bai Ze got up and knocked on Tao Hongjing's door. The swordsmith with a mysterious origin said a word of entry, and Bai Ze was not polite, pushed the door and walked into the courtyard, saying, "Teacher, good morning." ”

The sword furnace in the courtyard burned all night, and the air outside the door was already frosty, but inside the door was like midsummer.

Tao Hongjing's cloak was scattered, and the Xuanjin hammer tempered the sword embryo in his hand more and more awe-inspiring. The swordsmith glanced at Bai Ze and said, "You kid went out last night and was injured? ”

"That's true. Bai Ze walked over and said, "Last night's Lantern Festival, I was enjoying the scenery with Shizi in Qinghe, but I ran into an assassin and had a fight. ”

Bai Ze remembered the black-clothed swordsman who flew over from the arched bridge last night, fortunately, the swordsman only kicked him twice, Bai Ze was just almost kicked and broke his ribs, if those two feet were replaced by two swords, I am afraid that he would never be able to get up again if he fell into the Qinghe River yesterday.

"In the end, it's still your kid's cultivation that is too low. Tao Hongjing said that he didn't care about what Bai Ze said about enjoying the scenery with the prince, "The bitter sea is only the first step for a monk to pursue the way of heaven, and even said that if you don't have the qi to cross the other side of the three passes, you can't be considered a real monk." After all, the true qi of the bitter sea was trapped and died in the dantian, and when he fought with people, he naturally suffered. ”

Bai Ze walked to the sword furnace, took out the iron he tempered yesterday, picked up the Xuanjin hammer on the sword casting platform, and began to temper the iron impurities according to the method Tao Hongjing taught him yesterday.

But there was an injury in his body, and Bai Ze was inevitably hindered when he was lifting the pure yang true qi in his body, but the first hammer went down, and he frowned directly.

Seeing this, Tao Hongjing put the shuriken embryo into the water to cool, then covered it with green mud, threw it into the sword furnace to continue smelting, and said to Bai Ze: "That's it, you are injured, and it is not good to cast a sword." If you don't strike iron today, I'll tell you about the righteousness of sword casting. ”

"It's fine. Bai Ze put down the Xuanjin Iron Hammer, which had a thousand catties to say, and walked with Tao Hongjing to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down.

"Teacher, there is actually a question that I have wanted to ask since the first time I entered the door yesterday. Bai Ze looked at the swords piled up next to the sword furnace, those swords could hardly be considered as spirit swords at first glance, but when he looked closely, he felt that there was an extraordinary aura on the swords, and there was a faint inexplicable sword intent.

"What's the problem?" Mr. Tao said.

"Those swords by the sword furnace. Bai Ze pointed and said, "I always feel that those swords are unusual, but if I look closely, I feel that they are ordinary swords, without the slightest aura." This contradictory feeling struck me as strange. ”

"Haha, you think it's normal to be contradictory, and if you don't feel contradictory, it's not normal. Tao Hongjing laughed and said, "I want to know why?"

Bai Ze nodded.

"It's actually quite simple. Tao Hongjing said, "Because the iron I use to forge my sword is pure ordinary iron." ”

"Fan Tie?" Bai Ze was stunned for a moment, and understood. You must know that none of the world's famous swords are forged from mortal iron. The raw materials are different, and the effect of casting the sword is naturally very different.

In the world of Kyushu, the more famous the sword, the rarer its casting material becomes. What millennium black iron, amethyst glazed iron, extraterrestrial meteoric iron, diamond jade, and so on. There is only the best spiritual iron that you have never heard of, and there is never a famous sword that is forged from mortal iron.

Looking at Tao Hongjing's Heyang Sword Furnace now, if the dozens of swords next to the sword furnace are really made by Fan Tie, Bai Ze only has one sentence of "horror" to describe the old man in front of him.

can cast the inexplicable sword intent of the mortal iron sword, and this kind of means is not an exaggeration to say that it is through the sky. You must know that in the land of Kyushu, the popular saying "born to be mortal, why go against the sky", how many lives have fallen under the ruthless heaven. What Tao Hongjing is doing is to shake the heavens with his iron body, this is the act of cutting the sky!

"Yes, it's Fan Tie. Tao Hong nodded, sighed, and said, "Now, my sword forging realm has reached a bottleneck period. When I was young, I always had a question, you said, if a talented martial arts wizard and a waste material without any roots and bones don't step into the path of cultivation, are they both mortals?"

"Yes. Bai Ze said without hesitation.

"But look at it again, if both of them step into the path of cultivation, will the martial arts wizard definitely outperform that waste material?" Tao Hongjing asked.

Bai Ze's expression on his face could be described as wonderful, because he had asked Xie Xuan this question before, and the old man couldn't give a reason.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that the old sword immortal Kong Zhou before the sword immortal Li Muzhi, the Chengying Sword, one of the ten swords in the world, in his hand can be said to be the existence of glorious Kyushu and deterring the universe.

Legend has it that when this sword came out of the sword furnace, no one could see it. The so-called "Jiao divides the shadow, and the goose forgets to return", which is what it is talking about. This shadowless and invisible sword defeated the masses of the world in the hands of the old sword immortal, and there is even a legend that the old sword immortal Kong Zhou had already stepped into the legendary realm, the highest realm of the transcendent four realms, before Li Muzhi became famous, and became an immortal.

There is still news that the old sword immortal Kong Zhou is still alive among the people. You must know that Li Muzhi has been famous for more than 150 years, a hundred years ago Wang Zhilian failed to shake his name as a sword immortal, and now he has been invincible in the way of the sword for a hundred years.

If the old sword immortal Kong Zhou was still alive, who could imagine how far his realm had reached?

is such a legendary-level character, and he was crowned with the title of martial arts waste when he was a child. At that time, no one could have imagined that after a Jiazi, the young man who was despised by them back then, would become the unique peerless sword immortal in the world!
